Description
Everyone will cheer Walt Disney Pictures presentation of this captivating real-life story of Sonora Webster's determination and courage -- now on DVD. A runaway orphan, young Sonora (Gabrielle Anwar) persists for a menial job mucking stables in Doc Carver's traveling stunt show. Her great wish is to become a death-defying "diving girl," but Doc (Cliff Robertson) refuses her pleas. Undaunted, Sonora's gutsy resolve finally convinces him to give her a break. On the brink of stardom, however, a cruel twist of fate threatens to destroy her dream. With the help of a loving friend (Michael Schoeffling), Sonora must prove that if you want something badly enough, anything is possible!

This charming Disney live-action picture is a genuine sleeper. It's a variation on the old boy-runs-away-to-join-the-circus story, except this time the boy is a girl. After she joins a traveling show in the 1930s, spunky teen Sonora Webster (Gabrielle Anwar) learns the ropes and eventually lands a plum role in the program: riding a horse off a 40-foot-high diving board into a tank of water. Well, Sonora thinks it's a plum, anyway. Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken has the usual love interest, a brush with tragedy, and some worldly wisdom (the latter doled out by old pro Cliff Robertson, in a nice role as a crusty barnstormer). What makes the movie memorable is the performance of the lovely Gabrielle Anwar, the doe-eyed actress who later danced the tango so memorably with Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman. The movie may be sappy--no surprise with that title--but Anwar provides bright star wattage and a plucky role model. --Robert Horton

 love this movie January 7, 2009
This is a feel good -all ages movie. I once took 75 6th graders on a bus for 4 hours. The bus had a VCR and I popped this movie in and the kids were spell bound for 2 hours on the way home! A winner!
Love it! October 12, 2008
The first time I watched this movie I was a little girl in love with horses. I still enjoy this movie and its story of a courageous young girl who is never willing to give up on her dream.
horse movie September 8, 2008
i really thought this girl had alot of courage! jumping a horse off a ramp into the water which is a true story and was done for a while, i have trained horses in the past and own some now and i'm not sure i would want one to fly, so i thought she had alot of well...you know what..... and good for her and of course the brave horse, what an animal!! to do that!! good movie!!
Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken...or Beat! July 20, 2008
This is a great love story. It is very touching and shows people that one can go after their dreams and get them. The love story between two people is a bonus behind the real love story of loving yourself enough to follow your dreams!
 Nice movie but book is better June 13, 2008
Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken This is a good movie but leaves out so much of the real story of Sonora Webster Carver. Sonora's book, "A Girl and Five Brave Horses" is a must read if you can find a copy. The best thing about "Wild Hearts" is that it has gotten people interested in Sonora, a wonderful woman who has inspired many. For those who are interested, there is a group of us who are trying to get the book republished. Go to: Yahoo groups and type in divinghorses. Join us and learn more about Sonora and the divinghorse act.
